Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence techniques in medical decision support systems is becoming more commonplace. By incorporating a method to represent expert knowledge, such systems can aid the user in aspects such as disease diagnosis and treatment planning. This paper reports on the first part of a project addressing the diagnosis of individuals with dementia. We discuss two systems: DerriNet and PathNet; developed to aid accurate diagnosis both of the presence of dementia, and the pathology of the disease.
